What is the best kernal in your personal opinion for the latest Evo?
Hardware rev: 0004
I'm looking for one that is best for battery life, and with preflock off.
Thanks!
bump....anyone?
Same here I need one for battery life.
I'm no pro, but I believe netarchy is good for battery life because it does some underclocking tricks.
when you find a good kernal let me know.
I'd like to hear some experiences that everyone is having on how the battery life is on the stock ROM (POST OTA, NOT OVERCLOCKED) vs custom ROMs (Again, NOT overclocked).
I've tried the Virtuous ROM, and as expected the battery life got slurped down like coca-cola! CM6.1 isn't as bad, but still seems to suck the life out of the battery quite a bit faster than stock.
Is everyone seeing similar? What makes the stock ROM so much better on the battery?
My experience was actually quite the opposite. When I switched to CM, my battery life improved by about 20-25%. I have a NAM Desire Z so it was running HTC Sense over Froyo.
Remember that it takes a few days of usage for your battery to 'calibrate' itself to the new ROM. My first two days on CM were really bad, but since then, battery life has improved greatly. Yesterday, after moderate use and 15 hours, I still had 45% of my battery left. With my stock ROM, I would be lucky to get 15 hours of use out of the phone period.
As far as overclocking goes, I haven't seen much of a difference in battery life. Reason is, even though you are overclocked when the screen is on, you can adjust settings to under-clock at other times, saving battery power.
I would recommend trying a Custom ROM for 4-5 days, that will give you a better idea about its battery life. Also, there are lots of settings you can tweak that affect battery life greatly. Widgets, background data, signal strength... SOO many variables in personal usage that battery life is going to fluctuate user to user regardless.
Hello, I've been thinking of switching to an AOSP-based ROM. However, I want to know if the battery life will be better or worse, and I need opinion from people who have tried an AOSP-based ROM.
I've heard that they give better battery life on other devices.
I'm not asking for "which ROM is the best", but I am asking what your experience is like with battery life, so I have full confidence that this kind of thread should be allowed. Thanks.
I personally haven't noticed a difference between the two. I'm currently running Candy5 and set the IO Scheduler to 'row'. It lasts me throughout the day. But to be fair, I don't use my phone very heavily. With heavy gaming, I'll go about 2-3 hours from a full charge to about 25% charge. I don't know if this is something that is universal or not, but the phone gets REALLY hot after about 5 min. of gaming.
I was wondering how I can maximize the battery life on my m9 but still have a fast performing phone, I currently have greenify with root. I dont like xposed because I see a performance decrease. I scaled down animations to .5 because I still like them. The battery life is good and all but I want to go bigger. what can I do? Does elemental X kernel decrease the performance on the m9? or take any features away? Please help
This belongs to Q&A thread.
Only stock offers the best performance vs longevity.
I have 7.0 and use boost+. Works well.
is there any custom rom that is good on battery life and play games and make 6-7 hours of screen?
thanks
